Gov LePage: Company On Verge of Shedding 900 Southern Maine Jobs Due To High Energy Costs

The governor said energy costs were driving the unnamed company out.

“Again, it’s about energy costs for that company,” he said. “The biggest single issue is they’re competing against Chinese nuclear power, and they’re in Maine with the No. 12 energy costs in America.”…

Few know UPC First Wind so well as First Wind project neighbors, James Hall and his lovely wife, Judi, along with Alice, the most incredible and tireless researcher, and other concerned citizens at Cohocton Wind.  They delivered the goods on First Wind years ago and they're going strong.  God Bless Them!

Study: Wind Farm Would Reduce Vacation Home Rentals by More Than Half

This news, of course, comes as no surprise to Mainers who have seen real estate sales and rentals decimated by industrial wind projects - despite all the rigged government and wind industry studies that claim no adverse effects on property values.

“Over 50 percent of those surveyed indicated that they would not return to the same beach for their next rental should a utility-scale wind farm be placed offshore,” the report…

Time to Revisit the Way Maine Assesses Financial Capacity of Wind Developers

First Wind, forced wind, failed wind.........Decommisioning funds are wholly inadequate. When the subsidies run out, wind developers will walk away from their taxpayer money harvesting contraptions leaving a befouled Maine landscape. And the legislature is not doing anything about it. In fact, a predecessor legislature and a wind insider Gov Baldacci caused this scourge. The wind company "executives" will move onto their next fast buck somewhere and the so called Maine environmental groups…

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
